U.K. compulsory Yurchenko

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

I like this drill for fun. But the “scoop to candle” is the essential.

Ha. You’re right. I hadn’t even noticed.

… At summer training camps we tend to do a lot of Yurchenko, Blind Change, Trampoline drills, etc.

I love this drill- it really helps smaller/ younger kids get the feeling of flipping a yurchenko much earlier without sacrificing form or technique. They can also get more experience flipping layouts and twisting! We used it today & they got a ton of reps in because they thought it was fun!

Coming up … tomorrow.

And Tkachev. A skill that can be trained on tramp.

Forgive me for a stupid question, but I’ve been out of the coaching loop for a while and never worked with this high a level. What kind of drills were done before all these super cool mats became available?

Search YURCHENKO, AM.

There’s been a lot of recent posts on “introducing Yurchenko”.

You take the basis of a Yurchenko vault and you miniaturize it. Break it down in its parts as a RO, BHS and challenge the use of the springboard and the height of the BHS a little more as the skill level increases.

Thanks TP. I just remember my coach (in the mid 80s) using stacked panel mats and it was…kind of scary (but fun)
